I WIN the Movie

Hi friends! I'm Robin Hofmann an Orlando-based writer and director. Prior to getting into film, I worked in the field of psychology for 27 yrs with individuals with disabilities. I was a Certified Behavior Analyst specializing in autism and I have a 25 yr old autistic daughter. As a parent of a special needs child, having worked in the field as long as I did, I recognized just how many misconceptions there are about those with disabilities and the people who love and support them. My goal is to change that by writing compelling stories that incorporate realistic depictions of people with disabilities and the challenges they face. I believe inclusion and representation in film is so important. I constantly say I am not just trying to make a movie, I am trying to make a difference.
